Windows 11 built-in weather app eats more than 1.2 GB of memory just to tell you if it is going to rain or hot today. Hah. Linux and Unix users just type:
curl wttr.in
curl wttr.in/city_name_here
curl wttr.in/nyc
curl wttr.in/moon
curl wttr.in/london@nixCraft but the linux version cannot violate your privacy while you look at the forecast!

I look out the window, or check our own cheap weather station or go to www.met.ieI hate desktop / toolbar space being taken with weather apps on Windows, Linux or Android.
There is a weather widget in the Linux toolbar/places Clock widget that takes location and displays temp & wind. I don't use it.
On Win10 it was horrible getting rid of all the widgety gunge in the taskbar. -

What have we done to computers
